Carnival Glory Review 1-26-20

[wolft927]

Just returned from our cruise on the Glory and wanted to get a quick review started. 1st off traveling with my wife and 18 year old Stepson for a graduation present for him. 

 

Pre-Cruise

 

So we left Saturday morning around 9am for our 5.5 hour drive to new orleans. Traffic was easy and arrived at our hotel away from the Quarter around 4pm. We stayed at Boomtown Casino and left our vehicle there the duration of the cruise. 

 

Embarkation

 

We ordered an Uber from the Casino to the pier at approximatly 9:30am and arrived at the terminal at 10:05am. As we were staying in a suite we had priorty and dropped ur bags off and was brought right into the terminal. No lines, seperated screening areas and honestly was a breaze. I travel with a passport, wife and son with birth certificates, and still no issues. Next was brought to the Captains lounge where i fixed a cup of coffea and before i took my forst sip was being escorted onto the ship. Honestly the fastest embarkation i have ever experianced. We were onboard with a drink in hand by 10:30.  Rooms were not ready until 1:30 so we walked around for a but had Guys burger for lunch then sat in the casino bar until our room was ready. 

 

Stateroom

 

So we hade an Ocean suite on deck 7 which was perfect location. 2 decks down to promenade and 2 decks up to pool deck. Room was very spaciouse with an insane amount of closet space. Balcony was long that fit two chairs as well as a sunchair. I will add images shortly. The Cabin was perfect for 3 people and we never felt cramped. 1st time in a suite usually do balconies. 

 

Ship

 

So the glory is showing her age on the outside but i will say the inside was fantastic. Everything was clean and nothing looked to old or tattered. The Crew was awsome and i will say that this is my favorite class ship. Big enough to feel like you are on a large ship but didnt feel like i was walking a mile to go anywhere.
